Milestones and Certificates for LLP users

There are currently seven milestones on LLP. Each milestone is required to be signed off by supervisors.  

  1. Initial Assessment of Competence(IAC): The IAC is a Summative Assessments for the initial periods of training in Anaesthetics.  

  2. Initial Assessment of Competence in Obstetric Anaesthesia (IACOA): The IACOA is a Summative Assessments for the initial periods of training in obstetric anaesthesia. 

During this training period, SLEs, personal activities, and personal reflection – as well as a Multiple Trainer Report – can be used by the anaesthetist in training to demonstrate their progress until they reach a point where they can be entrusted to carry out the activity with more distant supervision. 

IAC and IACOA on Lifelong Learning 

To complete the IAC and IACOA on the platform, the anaesthetist in training will need to: 

  1. Link SLEs to and sign off the relevant EPA HALOs. For eg, signed off EPA 1 and EPA 2 for the IAC 

  1. Link a completed Multiple Trainer Report in the certificate 

  1. Link Personal Activities, with the activity type "Simulation training", to the IAC or IACOA milestone 

The Milestones section on LLP only shows certificates completed on the platform on the current curriculum. Anaesthetists in training who completed the certificate on paper/PDF, or on a different curriculum, will need to upload the document as a Personal Activity. The certificate will not appear hyperlinked in the Milestones and Certificates section, but they will appear in the ESSR.
